"In surrogacy there are two women: one gives the oocytes, the other is the real rented uterus
who must meet other requirements such as having already given birth and be in good health. The
one who gives the oocyte is chosen through a sort of selection of race
- the woman must be tall, beautiful, blonde, she is generally from the East -
the oocyte of a black woman costs much less than a white woman,
with evidently racist connotations
The cost of the operation is very high but for women goes a relative figure".
Thus the Minister of the Family Eugenia Roccella in a Zona Bianca on Rete 4.
"I am convinced that homosexual parents can be excellent parents
, this is not the point. The problem is how that child arrived and the fact that parents of the same sex, men in particular, have to resort to certain practices, in particular the uterus for rent.
Today we talk about children not to mention the surrogacy. In reality, surrogacy is already a crime today and so is the propaganda of surrogacy but they have never been prosecuted
.
So he goes abroad where he rents the uterus of a poor woman, then returns to Italy and asks for the automatic transcription of the child.
There is the transcript for the biological father, for the second parent the Court of Cassation has indicated a path, the adoption in particular cases, for the greater protection of the child and for the verification of the emotional relationship". The minister said of the Eugenia Roccella family, guest of Zona Bianca hosted by Giuseppe Brindisi, in prime time on Retequattro
Over 250 Italian couples resort to surrogacy every year.
"Now they have the certainty of not being prosecuted - added the minister - but there should be more awareness of what is going to be done by exploiting a needy woman, it is a question of the market, just look on the internet to see what it is about".
